ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ecobee by Generac holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ecobee by Generac has 224K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of ecobee by Generac's written reviews are positive against 100% of Floravault's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
